Over the last few decades, both synthetic and natural materials have been utilized to
develop bladder substitutes. Most attempts have not been successful because of …

Construction of the urinary bladder de novo using tissue engineering technologies is the
“holy grail” of reconstructive urology. The search for the ideal biomaterial for urinary bladder …

Previous studies on the reconstruction of porcine bladder using bladder acellular matrix
allograft (BAMA) have indicated positive preliminary results with respect to graft shrinkage …

Objectives To evaluate the use of a large‐segment (> 24 cm2) bladder substitution with
porcine bladder acellular matrix allograft (BAMA) in a large animal model. Materials and …

Bladder replacement or augmentation is required in congenital malformations or following
trauma or cancer. The current surgical solution involves enterocystoplasty but is associated …

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the rat urinary bladder augmented by an
acellular matrix graft can restore the bladder's low-pressure reservoir function and preserve …

When gastrointestinal tissue is used for bladder augmentation or replacement, multiple
complications may ensue, such as infection, metabolic disturbances, urolithiasis, perforation …

Bladder reconstruction remains challenging for urological surgery due to lack of suitable
regenerative scaffolds. In a previous study, we had used a collagen-binding basic fibroblast …

Introduction: Tissue engineering may become an alternative to current bladder
augmentation techniques. Large scaffolds are needed for clinically significant augmentation …
